Nope. Read the bio by Sam Schulman. Inherited millions, no billions. They made billions out of it.

Adjusting for inflation, are assets inherited valued in billions?

Divided up five ways: 4 bros & mother. Charles basically increased his share by a couple of hundred-fold.

Nope. Here, you gotta read this: https://www.amazon.com/Sons-Wichita-Brothers-Americas-Powerful/dp/1455518727 … I couldn't put it down. Sam is a leftie but very fair.

OK, I still think the "billions" claim is defensible. Either way, entitled oligarchs who fund some good stuff & a lot of bad

Charles is no "oligarch." Read that book, you'll see why.

Anyone who has billions of dollars and wields it to exert political leverage is an oligarch.

Nope. Anyone who *uses the State* to gain leverage is an oligarch. Charles ain't that. See here: http://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/koch-brothers-the-real-thing/ …

Charles uses the state. Are you kidding? He's hosting a confab full of politicians as we speak.

Nonsense. Charles supports legislation that costs him profits. Won't take state subsidies. Won't take favors.

Charles and David explicitly funded efforts in 2012 to help Romney beat Obama. That's using billions to influence the state.
